Okay, so, does anyone know if the Blue Beetle co-feature will be continuing in Booster Gold?

The two Blackest Night issues had him guest-starring in the main story, instead of in a co-feature, and it looks like in the new solicits for March the Blue Beetle co-feature is not mentioned at all in the summary of that Booster Gold issue.

It was just announced that Booster Gold is dropping the backup and going back to $2.99(US)

Yeah, I saw that, too. Consider me sad. Blue Beetle was my number one reason for collecting Booster Gold.

Dang that stinks. But maybe it's a good sign. Maybe Beetle will get his own series back again? (I know fat chance)

Quote your source!!!

I enjoy(ed) both series' and felt that Jamie was slighted in the backup stories. I wish Geoff Johns was still writing Booster. I feel as if nothing has REALLY happened everytime I read booster gold now. I liked it when Johns tied booster into past/future continuity.

YES!!

I mean, I was only reading Booster Gold because of Blue Beetle, but I hated the Booster Gold comic, and didn't feel that the co-feature was really worth it.

Now I can save money by dropping Booster Gold and not feel guilty!! =D

I guess I'm the exact opposite. I've really enjoyed the Jurgens-penned issues of Booster Gold. Good clean fun. But while I'll always have a soft spot for Blue Beetles in general, I've never been able to get into Jamie's character or his stories at all. So color me Gold with the extra buck I'll be saving, I'm sorry the rest of you are feeling Blue.

I'm on the other side of the fence, I'm not a fan of the new Beetle and I'm glad he isn't in my Booster Gold anymore.

Ditto! Make Boosters book about Booster gold. This whole backup thing was tried before. Actually, pretty much ANY time they want to justify price increases they add the "2nd feature". Luckily right now though, if the feature doesn't work out they pull it and make it 2.99 again. Historically they just reduce the page count and keep the higher price. So hopefully this is a change for the better.

I'm still miffed that JLA went to 3.99 and didn't really ad anything but a couple more pages of "story".

From that piece:

I'm not surprised that Metal Men is getting dropped from Doom Patrol because nobody -- and I mean NOBODY -- has written Metal Men worth a damn since the 1970's.

Just look at the first Doom Patrol backup. They NEVER write Platinum (Tina) correctly, because apparently nobody understands the distinction between "flirty" and "slutty" anymore.

I'd rather see the whole thing dropped than done poorly.

Another quote:

Yeah, too bad it'll likely be Batman:The Brave and the Bold

And again:

Not surprised. I honestly didn't think First Wave as a whole would ever see the light of day until I saw the Batman/Doc one-shot, and I knew damn well that Justice Inc. wouldn't get their own book (though I'd hoped otherwise). As it stands, I give the Doc/JI book six issues tops and predict that the whole First Wave thing will be gone in a year (with the possible exception of a single Batman-based Elseworldsish title remaining).
